Chapter 328: Reply (2/2)
Zi Su noticed that she wasn’t going to be able to persuade her master and she had no choice but to wait quietly beside him. The wait eventually lasted until midnight. Pei Rumo found the energy to sit motionlessly as he stared at the door without blinking. As for Zi Su, she managed to doze off.
When the gong of the night watch filled the sky, Zi Su jolted awake. She spoke to Pei Rumo in a daze, “Master, the night curfew has begun and it is better to rest early. You need to attend the morning court assembly tomorrow. Perhaps Young Lady Luo Chu will look for you after the assembly ends…”
Pei Rumo knew that Bai Luochu wasn’t going to appear and he quickly agreed with Zi Su.
On the other hand, Zi Su was silently praying for Young Lady Luo Chu to come tomorrow.
Early the next day, after Bai Luochu ended her morning cultivation, she headed straight for the First Prince’s residence. When Zi Su heard the report from the guard, she sprinted towards the entrance to invite her into the residence.
“Young Lady Luo Chu, you are finally here! Master has been waiting for an entire night. He became disappointed and this servant had to use the imperial court assembly to get him to sleep!”
Bai Luochu listened as Zi Su droned on and on. Even though she heard everything the little servant girl said, she didn’t give it much thought. After all, in Bai Luochu’s opinion, Pei Rumo was simply making use of her. She was similarly making use of him to achieve her goals. Why should she care about his feelings?!
No matter what she thought, she had to maintain her decorum as she gave a polite apology, “I am at fault and when His First Highness returns, I shall ask for his forgiveness.”
When Zi Su saw that Bai Luochu was acting politely, she felt that she hadn’t been too nice with her words. Zi Su laughed apologetically and said, “What is Young Lady Luo Chu saying? Master will be very happy since you decided to go. There is no need to apologize!”
Bai Luochu really wasn’t adept at feigning civility and she quickly ended the conversation by smiling and nodding. She headed to Pei Rumo’s study to wait for his return.
After Pei Rumo finished the court assembly, he rushed back to see that Zi Su was waiting for him at the entrance.
“Master, Young Lady Luo Chu is here and is currently waiting in the study room for you.” Zi Su nodded lightly to Pei Rumo and reported.
